Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche by Ethan Watters

5.0

This is a must read for anyone interested in mental health. Watters has accumulated a collection of ethnographic accounts that unveil the way western psychology and ethnocentric ideas have altered mental health problems and harmed vulnerable populations worldwide. This book literally enumerates why it is so essential to break down the perspective that the western approach to health is superior. If you read this, it will stick with you for a loooong time.
